Statement Regarding Use ofNon-GAAP Financial MeasuresWe report non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.We present revenues, revenue growth rates, and current remaining performance obligations and remaining performance obligations growth rates adjusted for constant currencyto provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current period results forentities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars are converted into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates in effect for the comparison period, rather than the actual exchangerates in effect for the current period. We believe the presentation of revenues and corresponding growth rates adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison ofrevenues year-over-year. We believe the presentation of current remaining performance obligations and remaining performance obligations growth rates adjusted for constantcurrency facilitates the comparison of current remaining performance obligations and remaining performance obligations year-over-year, respectively.We define subscription billings, professional services and other billings, and total billings as the applicable revenue plus the applicable change in deferred revenue, unbilledreceivables and customer deposits as presented or derived from the statement of cash flows. We adjust billings for constant currency, as described above, and for constantduration by replacing the portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months during the current period with the portion of multi-year billings in excess of twelve months duringthe comparison period. We believe these adjustments facilitate greater comparability in our billings information year-over-year. We believe billings is one indicator of theperformance of our business. Our non-GAAP presentation of normalized subscription billings growth rate adjusts for an irregular payment cycle in 2020 where some customers paidus in both Q1 and Q4 2020. In Q4 2020, we received a substantial amount of subscription billings pulled forward from Q1 2021 due to early customer payments. We believe the highlevels of early payments were the result of customers having excess cash at the end of 2020, due to the incremental cost savings they experienced from COVID-19 and are onetime in nature. We believe providing normalized subscription billings growth rate adjusted for these early payments is a better indicator of our performance and underlying businesstrends and facilitates greater comparability in our billings information year-over-year.Our non-GAAP presentation of gross profit, income from operations, and net income measures exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring items, including stock-basedcompensation expense, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes, loss on early note conversions, amortization of purchasedintangibles, legal settlements, business combination and other related costs, the related income tax effect of these adjustments, and the one-time income tax benefit from therelease of a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets. The non-GAAP weighted-average shares used to compute our non-GAAP net income per share - diluted excludes thedilutive effect of the in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes as they are covered by our note hedges, and includes the dilutive effect of time-based stock awards, thedilutive effect of warrants and the potentially dilutive effect of our stock awards with performance conditions not yet satisfied at forecasted attainment levels to the extent webelieve it is probable that the performance condition will be met. We believe these adjustments provide useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis ofour operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.Free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus cash paid for legal settlements and repayments ofconvertible senior notes attributable to debt discount, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage oftotal revenues. We believe information regarding free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength andperformance of our business operations.Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to carefully consider our resultsunder GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please see the tablesincluded at the end of this presentation for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results. 3 2021 ServiceNow, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
